Bariblock: barite ionizing radiation shielding

SVA, leading company in the production of shielding panels, is specialized in new buildings and renovations as well as in electromagnetic shielding and radiation protection works. Radiation shielding is important both in the medical sector, to ensure the safety and health of those who work in spaces where investigations are carried out with x-ray machines, and in the industrial sector for shielding nuclear plants or in centers where are used radioactive isotopes with production cycles. Created from barite inert and combined with Portland cement, Bariblock® is an innovative and eco-sustainable product capable of shielding radiation potentially harmful to the individual. A valid alternative to traditional solutions such as lead slabs, Bariblock has a high volume mass that involves low thickness, fast installation and reduce construction costs.
